[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the pet has a low quality of life because of those medical issues, then yes.[/quote] +1 its about quality of life. Dealing with this now as our dog is almost completely blind. I’m trying to determine if they can settle into a new blind life or will forever be confused and scared. [/quote] This. I've had 2 dogs with non terminal but serious long term health issues. One adapted fine and still had a quality, but costly, quality of life. The other, their quality of life when significantly downhill. The poor thing seemed miserable. It was the humane thing to do to let the dog go peacefully and not force it to suffer. Then again, having witnessed many people suffer from horrible illnesses, I'm a big believer in physician assisted suicide. If the options are euthanization or put the animal in a shelter because you can't afford it, the dog is MUCH better off being euthanized. [/quote]
